This initiative, which falls under the services category, involves residential care for individuals with learning disabilities, specifically across two established locations in Greenwich. The current procurement method is a limited tender process, awarded without competition to Choice Support Ltd for a duration of 15 months, from January 2021 to March 2022. The contracts were signed on 12th May 2021, and the council plans to re-tender these services in the upcoming year following consultations with the local learning disability market. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in care services, particularly those with experience in providing accommodation and support for adults with learning disabilities. Companies that operate in the health and social care sector may find this to be a promising avenue for contract participation, especially as the Royal Borough plans to reshape its service offerings and re-engage the market. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate capability in delivering high-quality, community-focused care could leverage this opportunity to expand their reach and establish long-term partnerships with local authorities. ## Notice Residential care services for people with a learning disability, based over 2 locations in the borough of Greenwich ### Lot Information Lot 1 Residential care contracts direct award for people with a learning disability across sites within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The Royal borough is awarding two contracts 1) Charlton Road for 15 months (January 2021 to March 2022) for PS540,816.45. 2) Wilmount Street for 15 months (January 2021 to March 2022) is PS479,650.05. Additional information: The services provide accommodation-based care and support for adults with learning disabilities. 30a Charlton Road is a four-bed care home and 10-14 Wilmount Street is an 8-bed supported living service. They were previously offered to the market in 2019 but following a full and open tender exercise, the council was unable to award new contracts. Consequently, It is proposed that Choice Support Limited is directly awarded the contracts for 12 months pending a fresh tender exercise. Last year the council was unable to go back to the market due to the Covid-19 outbreak. However, we are now returning to business as usual. We intend to consult on our plans for reshaping the local learning disability market over the coming months and aim to offer contracts to the market in the new calendar year. ### Procurement Information These contracts are being awarded without competition because the council previously offered to the market in 2019 an open tender exercise but were unable to award new contracts. While the council intended to go out to market in 2020, the covid-19 outbreak has severely delayed the Health and Adult services improvement and modernisation programme and the need to reshape the service. In addition, due to the nature of this service, the council is obliged to ensure service delivery continuity therefore it has to consider making the direct award to fulfil its statutory obligation. Consequently it is proposed that these contracts are awarded to Choice Support Ltd for 12 months pending a fresh tender exercise. The council intends to consult with the Learning Disability market over the coming months and the aim is to exercise a new procurement in the new year. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015198-2021 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 May 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £1,020,467 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ROYAL BOROUGH OF GREENWICH | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE18 6HQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI5 Outer London - East and North East | | ITL 3 | TLI51 Bexley and Greenwich | | Local authority | Greenwich | | Electoral ward | Woolwich Arsenal | | Westminster constituency | Greenwich and Woolwich | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CHOICE SUPPORT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 2 Jul 2021 at 11:21 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015198-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.royalgreenwich.gov.uk/ - https://www.royalgreenwich.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
